Pitch-Slam Runner Up: Fig Food Co. offers several 100 percent organic ready-to-eat and condensed soups made with real food for ingredients.

Fig Food actively addresses three vital and controversial issues we face in America: health care, reducing dependence on fossil fuel and reducing greenhouse gases. www.figfood.com
Pitch-Slam Runner Up: Dang Foods makes energy-packed snacks from the nutrient-rich copra, or meat of the coconut. The meat is sliced out of mature coconuts then gently toasted until golden brown with a dash of sugar and salt. The toasting process brings out the natural sweetness of the coconut meat and turns it from white to golden brown. Dang Coconut Chips are vegan, gluten free, non-GMO, contain no cholesterol, and are high in fiber and lauric acid. www.dangfoods.com
